Large 8vo. 424 pages. First edition. SUBJECT (S) : Clothing workers Illinois Chicago; Arbitration, industrial Illinois Chicago; Illinois Chicago history. Hefty tome detailing this heavily (though not exclusively) Jewish & Italian Union's first 12 years--organizing, strikes, allies, etc. The union, officially founded in 1914, had its roots in the massive 1910 strike in Chicago (against Hart, Schaffner, & Marx) , primarily led at the shop floor level by Jewish and Italian women, at the top by Sidney Hillman, and aided by Jane Addams and the Women's Trade Union League. The union was condemned by Sam Gompers as a breakaway from the craft-organized (and largely nativist) United Garment Workers of the AFL, and became leaders of a "new unionism" that included the development of unemployment insurance, cooperative housing, labor banking, & consumer cooperatives.

1912224381912. Schwartz Isidor Publisher. Vi Azoy Tsu Veren a Sitizen. / The Citizen: A Guide to Naturalization. All Important Questions and Answers Printed in Hebrew and Yiddish Also Translations in Plain English Which You are to Know When Applying for Your Final Citizen Papers. Brooklyn: Aroysgegeben fun Isidor Schwartz / Published by Isidor Schwartz n.d. after 1912. Only edition. 31 page. Text in English and Yiddish both transliterated and Hebrew script. 6" x 4.5. Stapled pamphlet in printe wrappers.<br /> <br /> An immigrant-era Yiddish-English naturalization guide for Jewish immigrants preparing to become U.S. citizens published by Isidor Schwartz in Brooklyn. This vernacular instructional manual contains sample questions and answers in three formats: English Yiddish in Hebrew script and transliterated English in Latin script referred to on the cover as "Jewish-English". Designed for oral preparation it walks new arrivals through both general and localized questions commonly asked at the naturalization interview particularly for applicants in New York. Questions range from general American civics-"How does a bill become a law"-to specific regional knowledge-"What is the capital of New York State" and "How many stars has the American flag" The answer is noted as "Forty-eight stars" dating the publication to after Arizona and New Mexico's 1912 admission but before Alaska and Hawaii. The phrasing used-"We vote for the candidate who is in our opinion best fitted to occupy the office he wishes to be elected to"-illustrates the pamphlet's focus on simplified phonetic civic literacy.<br /> <br /> A vital artifact of Jewish immigrant life and Americanization in the early 20th century this pamphlet exemplifies how Jewish community publishers mediated state bureaucracies for recent arrivals. Yiddish language guides like this one offered more than instruction-they were part of the infrastructure of mutual aid and cultural transition particularly within New York's dense immigrant communities.<br /> <br /> Fragile condition with moderate chipping and edgewear to front and rear wrappers including some closed tears and loss at corners; interior pages clean and legible. Overall good condition. A scarce and historically significant publication supporting Jewish American integration during a peak period of Yiddish-speaking immigration; OCLC locates only 8 institutional holdings worldwide. unknown

Hardback. 8vo. 671 pages. 23 cm. First edition. In Hebrew. Added title page: The "He-Halutz" movement in Poland, 1917-1929. The He-Haluts was a Zionist pioneering movement in Poland. The founders of He-? Aluts believed that no political or propaganda accomplishment would benefit Zionism in the long run unless it were complemented by deeds of personal fulfillment, which became a primary objective in the organizations overall ideology. In other words, to actually implement the principles of He-? Aluts, the individual was expected both to identify with the Histadrut (Labor Federation) and to live on a cooperative kibbutz in Palestine. On an ideological level, the basic foundations of the He-? Aluts movement were consolidated in 1917. Based on a combination of universal socialist and nationalist concepts, they drew ideological influence from the Tseire Tsiyon party. He-? Aluts continued to evolve in Russia even after the change of regime. The fundamentals of agricultural training farms and links with the budding kibbutz movement in Palestine were laid down. The Fourth Aliyah (19241929) marked the first test of the populist concept, since at the time of the Third Aliyah (19191923) the previous immigration waveHe-? Aluts had still been in an amorphous ideological phase and had been a marginal factor in Diaspora public affairs. When He-? Aluts held its world conference in 1923, the movement numbered only 7, 000 registered members, but membership increased to tens of thousands within a year and a half. This massive growth led to a change in the organizations social structure. High-school students and middle-class youth were now replaced with thousands of working-class youngsters and unemployed individuals, including members of Zionist Socialist parties.
